The sleep deprivation was weird. It didn't hurt to race, I just couldn't turn the cranks like I wanted. Even at the end of the race I felt sleepy and all day I had full-body muscle weakness. Also I'm back to being fat as ****. Cry.
@
scheibo had an excellent merckx time.
I used to have a theory that guys got faster after they had kids. This was based solely on observations of several friends who had kids then suddenly raced a lot faster. In several cases, it was their second kid. Of course, in all those cases, they only had one newborn to deal with.
But I'm sure it will all settle down for you soon.
